The protected harbor at Riviera Dunes is a hurricane hole six miles inland and just off the Manatee River and is thought by many to be the safest waterfront community on the west coast of Florida. The private 50' floating boat dock is equipped with shore power and city water and can accommodate vessels with a draft of up to 18', 60' of waterline and a practically unlimited beam. The 2' wide seacap is protected by an enduring riprap barrier that is 20' wide. Easy access to Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf. While no home is hurricane proof, this one has a proven track record. In 2024, three storms affected the west coast of Florida and it remained unscathed, high and dry.
